In 2000, the premiere of Golijov's St. Mark Passion took the music world by storm.
Commissioned by Helmuth Rilling for the European Music Festival, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of J.S. Bach's death, the piece featured the Schola Cantorum de Caracas, with the Orquesta La Pasión (especially assembled for this work by Golijov together with percussionist Mikael Ringquist), all conducted by Maria Guinand.
The CD of the premiere of this work, on the Hänssler Classic label, received Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations in 2002. The St. Mark Passion continues to be performed across the globe.
The next performances, presented at the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Disney Hall in April 2010, will coincide with the release on Deutsche Grammophon of a new recording and DVD.
For the premiere of Ayre, Golijov founded another virtuoso ensemble: The Andalucian Dogs.
Together with Dawn Upshaw, they premiered the piece at Zankel Hall and recorded it on a Grammy-nominated CD for Deutsche Grammophon in 2005.
In 2006 Deutsche Grammophon released the recording of the opera Ainadamar, with Dawn Upshaw, Kelley O'Connor and Jessica Rivera singing the principal roles, and the Atlanta Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, conducted by Robert Spano, an artist and friend who has worked closely with Golijov for almost a decade and conducted the world premiere of the opera, as well as the American premiere of the Passion. The record earned two Grammy awards: for best opera recording, and best contemporary composition.
